The Bellator TV ratings for their two most recent events were nearly identical, but unfortunately a little on the low side.

Bellator 80 pulled in 148,000 viewers, while Bellator 81 did 149,000, according to MMAWeekly.com’s industry sources.

Bellator 81 took place on Friday, Nov. 16, at the Ryan Center in Kingston, Rhode Island. Marcin Held and Dave Jansen won their lightweight tournament semifinal bouts, and will now face each other in the finals.
